Really looking fwd to this game. Both teams will be improved from last meet. Maybe for different reasons. Both appear to be at full strength. Big raucous crowd on the road against our soon to be favorite enemy - sorry, rival in a lot of sports.

It’s bull shat. Go look at the starters and subs from our first game with them then look at their last game with Georgia state. It’s the same people logging minutes. They actually played more people against us than they did against Georgia state

They were missing a guard in their rotation, but Crowley and Haase are their best players, and he played.
